Major Honda Civic Recall of 2006 and 2007 Models
September 24, 2007
Honda has recalled almost two-hundred thousand Civics due to a defect that could cause the wheels to fall off.
The wheel-bearing seal on the 2006 and 2007 model Honda Civic sedans and coupes may leak. This could result in the wheel coming off of the car.
This recall coincides with the recall of about twenty thousand 2006 model Civic sedans and hybrids due to a potentially faulty brake-light switch.
If you would like more information about this recall, try calling Honda at (800) 999-1009.
Stay tuned to our Auto Recall Section for more information on this and other recalls as it becomes available and distributed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

I own a 2007 civic lx – have not heard from Honda (re) the ball joint problem, only through word of mouth. Can I take my car to the nearest Honda dealer without formal notification and have this problem fixed? Please reply
I just had my Honda civic 06, inspected, but it failed due to two ball joints were leaking oil. They did fix it with no charge, and I was on my way.
I have a 2006 honda civic is there anyone besides me having problems with the sunvisors. Last summer I had to have over three sets replaced. And summer just begun today and I need another set. I know Arizona is hot but the problem is driving me crazy. Sun visor hanging in your face. Anyone else have this problem let me know. How long will they continue to replace them for free??
I have a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. Is there anyone having trouble with the tires staying in alignment. I have contacted Honda Corp. and am waiting to hear back from them. I don’t know if the dealer isn’t aligning it properly or if there is a defect. I have had my tires replaced twice and they are worn again with only 8000 miles on them. If anyone else is having alignment problems, please let me know.
My sun visor has just cracked as well…I read on other forums that at least 40 people had the same problem…They need to do a recall on the visors as well! It blocks my vison when I’m driving!
My sun visor broke too! What a POS!!!! I got the Car in October of 2007 – will they still fix them for free? I don’t have warranty anymore…
The sunvisor on mine just popped yesterday too. The car we test drove had both sunvisors ‘popped’… split at the seams pretty much. I thought it had been in an accident and hadn’t been repaired… I’ll check with the dealership on this tomorrow. That sucks, sounds like I’ll need to stock up on sunvisors.
Btw I’m also in AZ… is this a heat issue? (with the sunvisors)
Sunvisor broke apart drivers side, is there a recall?
I have a problem with my visor splitting. I called Honda at: 1-800-999-1009. They will document how many calls they receive with the same problem. That is the only way a re-call will be generated.
Mine too! Split after a day of sitting in the sun. I’m in TX. Will they replace for free? Does anyone know?
i have a honda civic lx 2006… my mirror drivers side also split and broke.. it won’t go back up… my back tires seem to not align right cause when my husband rotated the tires for summer the left rear tire was lopsided and worn down to the threads… unbelievable! i live in wisconsin and we had a really harsh winter
I went to the dealership to had the sunvisor replaced last year. I live in Ohio and granted, it was summer time but I could not put the visor back up. It drove me nuts. When I brought it to the dealership, they were hesitant about replacing it, but they orderd a new sunvisor and replaced it. I can’t remembered if I paid or not.
The sun visor on my 07 civic was broken when I came out to my car on tuesday here in phoenix. I guess I am glad to hear I am not the only one, my warranty is already expired I hope they still replace the POS for free.
My purchased my Honda last July. First the windshield leaked…bad seal. Had that fixed. Today the driver’s side visor split. I will be contacting Honda. If there is more than a dozen complaints they should do a recall.
My driver’s side visor finally cracked today and am having it replaced under warranty. It’s a known issue for 2006-08 Civics of various trim levels and I obtained a service bulletin for it. Although my VIN didn’t fall in the range, a local honda dealership will replace it for free.
My visor split as well I’m glad I found this web site. I hope that my warranty will still covers it.I’m going to call on it tomorrow.Has any one had any problems with your brakes pads?Mine only last 10000 to 12000 miles.I have a 2006 civic with 43000 miles on it and I’ve replaced the pads 3 times already.Maybe its just my driving:).
My sun visors on my 2006 honda civic have cracked as well. I just replaced them last July and now this July the one on my drivers side just broke again today. I have called Customer Service and filed a complaint and I have also faxed a letter to the Manager and told them this needs to be a recall or they need to replace them with fabric visors so we won’t have this issue. I don’t have a warranty anymore either so naturally I have to pay for this one. Please everybody all the customer service line and file complaints
I purchased my 2006 civic in April 2006 and the driver side visor just blew up. I never heard of a visor failure before! Honda says I’m on my own! This is a definite safety issue as it flops in your face.
I am also having trouble with my sun visors. I bought the car last year and within a month had to have them replaced due to them cracking. This past Friday they have started doing it again. They seem to be affected by high temperatures. I agree that Honda needs to do something about it. I cannot even pull my visor down when I need to because I am afraid they will break when I try to put them back up.
My 2006 Civic Hybrid now is being repaired for the second time, apparently because mice are gnawing holes in the plastic gas line above the gas tank. The result both times has been gas vapors inside the car and a trailing stream of gas behind the vehicle. (The car is normally parked in the driveway outside my farmhouse in a wooded area in central Kentucky.) Thus far, neither Honda America nor the repairing dealers has suggested a solution, other than killing all the mice living in the woods! The situation is dangerous, I think, and Honda needs to use a better quality fuel line. Has anyone else had a similar problem with Civic or other cars?
My wife owns a 2007 Honda Civic Sedan and her driver-side sun visor is broken…split open, more like. It will no longer raise back into place and obstructs her view while driving. We purchased the car December of 2006 and it clicked when you folded it back into to place and then just a week ago, it broke and now it just hangs down; she has to put it to the side so she can see the road and the traffic lights. REDICULOUS!!! The car is brand new! She also had a wire connection on her window controls fail out of the clear blue sky. The dealership took responsibility for it, but that’s not the point. IS THIS THE SORT OF QUALITY WE SHOULD NOW EXPECT OF HONDA CARS? I bought an Si Sedan just a month and a half ago and now I’m having doubts. Thankfully, nothing has gone wrong with it…yet.
2006 civic SI. TEXAS. Replaced passinger side 2 weeks ago now the drivers side is going. It’s out of warranty so I paid $52.00 for it from the dealer and replaced it myself. Went to the service dept and was told they are replacing them all the time. Make an appointment and they would work with me. I think it is a design defect. Materials not suited for the high temps inside a closed car during summer. Also, the two springs maybe too strong for the application. I’m calling
the honda 800# to lodge a formal complaint. Maybe they will do a recall and redesign this defective visor.
I live in Maryland. I have a 2006 Civic EX. The driver side visor has been replaced 3 times. The passenger side visor has been replaced once and looks like it could fail again. Whenever it gets hot inside the car, the glue that holds the visor together seems to lose it’s strength and the spring mechanism that keeps the visor in place seems to bind, causing the visor to split open and fail. The dealer that I bring my car to is seeing a lot of those failures so they keep plenty of replacement parts in stock. Honda needs to redesign the part quickly because a broken visor hanging in front of the driver’s face is a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Yep, my 2006 hona civic driver side visor just blew up. Wow, never herd of this. Hopefully Honda will replace it for free.
Both my driver and passenger side visors have cracked and will not stay up. They fall down while I drive–this is a safety hazard!! Has anyone heard directly from Honda? I plan to call and file a complaint as well.
I called Honda USA at 1-800-999-1009. The person answering said they know about it and are working on it.
Wow, I had my sun visor replaced last summer and again, this summer, it has cracked once more. Stupid thing just hangs. It is definitely a heat issue since I have no problem with it during the winter time.
I have an ‘07 Honda Coupe and I’m now replacing my second driver’s sun visor in six months! If Honda doesn’t either fix this defect or continue to pick up the tab for replacements, I have one word for them–Toyota. This will be the last Honda I ever buy if I’m treated like a clown.
The dirvers side sun visor on my wife’s 2006 Honda Civic also broke. Will fight it out with the dealer in the next couple of days if it’s not covered by the expensive warranty that we bought at the time we purchased the car.
I commented above back on 8/1 about my cracked sunvisors–here is an update. Yesterday, I took my Honda in for routine service here in Lexington, KY. Luckily, I had purchased an extended warranty when I bought my 2006 Civic, and the replacement visors were covered by that waranty.
Same deal here. My driver’s side visor on my 2006 Civic EX just broke for the second time. I called Honda (1-800-999-1009) and got assigned a case number. It sounds like the more people who report the problem the more likely it is something will be done to reimburse the replacement costs, and better, to fix the problem for good.
Yes the same thing happened with the driver’s side sun visor! I have an ‘07 civic LX coupe and i got in my car at the end of the day and the visor was hanging down and when i tried to put it back up it wouldn’t stay. it is cracked right down the seam. i thought something must have happened to it for it to break but apparently not since it’s happened to others. it was a fairly hot day so i guess the heat may have something to do with it but that’s no excuse. i’m going to report it to the dealer and they better replace it at n/c since it is a known design defect.
My driver’s side sun visor did the same thing. 06 Civic EX, out of warranty.
I was able to push it back in but it looks like all the clips are broken and it won’t hold anymore. I don’t think it is a heat issue. There is a metal flange inside the visor the pushes against the plastic so that there is resistance when turning the visor. Basically what’s happening is over time it is flexing the plastic and breaking the clips. Eventually all the clips in that area will break and it will come apart at the seam.
If yours hasn’t broken yet, look at the cloth area with the visor up against the roof and then swing it down and up. You’ll notice it is flexing on the front side (the side that faces you when it is closed) They basically placed the metal flange in the weakest part of the visor which is complete bullshit.
Went to go to work today and my visor is split. had to unscrew it so I could drive to work. Called Honda I was told there would be about $100 to fix. I will be calling back now that I see that this is a common issue.
My wife’s 2007 Civic DX driver’s side visor broke last week. Car only has 7,000 miles on it. I think Honda would want to resolve this issue to protect their customers. I plan to contact them tommorow. I have been driving for over 36 years and have owned over 25 vehicles. This is the first time I have had a visor fail. This is definately a design/material problem for Honda. I have also had to have the timing cover gasket replaced already as it was leaking all over my driveway. I purchased this vehicle based on Honda’s reputation. I am sure they will eventually take care of the faulty visors for their customers. If not they will create a lot of ill will. Hopefully they are desigining a more durable replacement.
We also have a 2006 Honda Civic, and have now had a second visor crack just as everyone else here has claimed. We are in Phoenix Arizona where it gets exceedingly hot, especially inside the car. It’s obvious that this is a heat-related issue.
Our first visor that broke was the passenger side visor. It cracked and as a result hung down and would not stay up. We took the car to the local Honda dealer to have that visor replaced. They replaced it under warranty. That was in May 2008.
Now we’re here three months later in August 2008, and the driver’s side visor has cracked in the very same manner. It too now hangs down blocking the vision of the driver, which causes a safety issue. I too have called Honda at 1-800-999-1009 to document this issue and complain about the fact that this ongoing problem is a safety issue and that no recall has been issued as a result. The Honda rep I spoke to verified that no recall has been issued, but logged a case for me and said a Case Manager would call me to talk further about this issue.
The rep I talked to acknowledged to me (after I explained the obvious safety issue of the driver’s side visor blocking the driver’s vision) that “Yes that’s definitely a safety issue.”
Clearly they (Honda) realize this but as of today, have done NOTHING with regard to a safety recall.
2006 civic sun visor got real hard too use now stuck and split and no recoil to hold it up.extended warranty not worth money they wont replace either .
$69.00 to replace it.i was told.by dealer.yes me and the rest of country let get this to honda ceo //////////////////////…..yes it sucks. fora nice car to have a company not come forward to help
2006 Civic driver side sun visor just broke apart a couple of weeks ago. I’m in New Jersey. It doesn’t get that hot. Took the cheap route and took it off, duct taped it together and put it back. At least the duct tape is almost the same color as the gray visor. Very stylish. Will have to do until I get a chance to get it fixed.
2007 Honda civic driver side visor split after a hot day in TX. I opened the visor up to see if i could fix it. It seems like the plastic they are using cannot withstand the heat. There were a few internal pieces melted and the mechanism that allows the visor to move was fused to the cylinder it rotates around. Definitely a defect. I will call the number and complain but i havent had any luck with the dealer replacing the visor.
My 2007 Honda Civic coupe has now had 3 new visors replaced due to splitting apart (2x drivers side, 1x passenger side). I’ve only owned it for 2 months, I’m the 2nd owner. I called Honda at 1-800-999-1009 to document this. I’ve had 2 Phoenix Honda dealers replace. Tempe Honda is replacing about 100 of these per month. It’s so frequent, that at any given chance in the service waiting room, there is usually one other person waiting to have their visor replaced on the 06-08 Civic. It’s a terrible design. Please call Honda with this. Also, research Lemon Laws and see if this is applicable in your state. Honda here says this is just an Arizona issues, BS, other folks here are posting outside of Arizona. It’s a terrible design (2 piece that splits when adhesive breaks) that needs to be recalled, it is a safety issue.
2006 Civic driver side sun visor broke with 14,000 miles. Replaced and again it has broken. I believe Honda should recall the sunvisor, but will they. Another 50 dollars and it will last for another year or so and then will have to replace it again. Come on Honda lets get it together!!! These cars are great…now lets get this visor issued layed to rest….
The passenger side sunvisor on my 2006 Honda Civic just broke. I will be calling Honda first thing on Monday morning and taking it to my local dealer. This is my 3rd Honda from the same dealer so surely they will replace it at no charge. If not, Toyota will have a new customer.
2006 Civic coupe.. drivers side mirror on my hubby’s car basically popped opend and now won’t even stay up, I’m super short so it’ blocking my view when I’m driving… I was freaked out…. like… I don’t remember doing this, just got in the car one day and the driver’s side visor wouldn’t stay up, after looking at it I realized the whole seam had opened up!! Calling Honda tomorrow!! Want this fixed before my hubby get’s back from overseas!!!!!!!!!!
My driver side visor broke last week and I have been going nuts! It actually hit me in the head when it popped. I have a 2006 Honda Civic. So glad I found this site and will call the 1-800-999-1009 to report it. My car is still under warrenty…thank goodness…I hope!
My wife’s 2006 civic has had an issue with the sun visors every summer since we bought it. Passenger side went out just last week. The first week in August
hit the triple digits. These sun visors obviously can’t take the heat.
I called the 800 number and I’m waiting to hear from a case worker. I’m supposed to take the car to the dealer to show them the problem. We’ll see what they say.
This will be the third visor on the passenger side and driver side is probably not far behind. I believe in Arkansas, it’s three strikes and they are out. “Lemon Law Issue.”
By the way, my 2006 Toyota Corolla has the original sun visors.
UPDATE to my post of August 12th, 2008 3:03 pm –
A Honda case manager did call me back on 8/13/08 and acknowledged my problem with the defective sun visors. She acknowledged this is a problem “only in hot areas of the country, like AZ, NV and TX.” She said this problem cannot be listed as a safety issue so a recall is not possible, but “perhaps a service bulletin may be issued. Honda is looking into the problem.” She then suggested I schedule with a local dealer to have them replaced. I told her I intended to do that.
Two days later, my passenger side visor broke (again!), so now I currently have 2 broken visors (driver and passenger), which makes 3 total since May 2008.
Then on 8/18/08 she called me back again to ask if I had them replaced. I told her about the latest broken visor (3 total now). She then said a SERVICE BULLETIN has been issued by Honda about this problem. I asked her the issue date of that SB — she said it was May 16, 2008. (If it was issued in MAY 2008, then why didn’t she tell me about this when I talked to her on 8/13/08??) Anyway, she says that all Honda dealers should now be aware of this service bulletin.
I then scheduled an appointment with Honda of Superstition Springs (Mesa, AZ) to get both replaced. He said they ARE aware of the service bulletin, and that they “have redesigned them so this is no longer a problem.”
Will post a follow-up comment here when I have the “redesigned” visors installed.
Hope this info helps someone else, especially in Phoenix!!
I have a 2006 civic, and it looks like I am not the only one having sun visor problems, it started long ago, avoiding to use it often, but it cracked when trying to use it on a sunny floridian day. I thought it was bad luck but it seems to be a major issue. Now I wonder what’s next? brakes? tires falling off? ………. oooohhhhh yeah that already happened, that was the last recall!!!!!!!
Not only my sun visors on my 2006 civic are broken i have a recall to replace the water pump.
Stopping by the Honda dealership this evening to address the wheel bearing
recall I also informed them of a third broken defective sunvisor on a 2006 Honda Civic which yeilded no satisfactory results. The staff is friendly and great in so many other ways, just not regarding the visor.
Last time I was there the service rep mentioned defective sunvisors were a real problem, and to bring the car back if I should continue to experience any further problems. The currect rep and his manager denied being aware of any problems with the visor. I find that incongruency odd.
Since the visor is no longer under warranty the cost of a replacement visor, with no guarantee it will survive a year, was quoted as $75.00 (plus labor?). Since this continues to be a defect that is not improved upon of rectified why would I be interested in purchasing another defective disposible sunvisor. I asked if a sunvisor from another model or year could be installed. It cannot. It was suggested I contact an 800#. I’m not comfortable with the limited vision due
to the broken sunvisor. I hope to have timely results. Thank you all for your
support while we address this situation with Honda. I’m so suprised since
Honda’s have been so incredible. My last Honda ran for 13 years and didn’t
experience a broken visor. I ‘d like to see Honda take responsibility and rectify the situation.
i had my drivers side changed about 2 months later my passenger side is now broken, they were not hanging down but they are cracked. oh yeah the window washer well leaked from the neck had it replaced… why dont they just do a one piece bottle like the accord ??? come on honda you gotta do a recall on this one do you think we love travelling 15 miles + to get stuff changed every couple of months, this is why i bought a NEW CAR !!!
Once again, another sunvisor split open on my 07′ Honda Civic (see my earlier post). So this is the 4th sunvisor that has split open in 2 months. Again, I called Honda at 800-999-1009. Keep calling them up folks!!!! This must turn into a recall to redesign this piece of junk!!!
I have a 2006 Honda Civic Coupe EX and ever since I bought it I’ve had problems with the sunvisors. I’ve had to replace both each year since I’ve gotten the car and am going in this Friday to replace the drivers side once again. Its very annoying but when I asked the service manager about it, he stated all they can do is replace them as it is a design flaw – um HELLO then REDESIGN THEM! My factory warranty is done but I got an extended warranty and that should cover it, if not they’re going to get a piece of my mind and a sunvisor up their &*^%$#@!
And on the heat thing – yes its mainly heat that destroys the cheapness of the sunvisor, but I’ve also heard a couple people on other sites stating heat was not the cause of theirs splitting.
My driver’s side sunvisor is also cracked and won’t go back up. I just called the 800 number to complain…thankfully, it is still under warranty and will be covered. However, as a result of it being warranty-covered, the service agent wouldn’t open a case number to document that this had happened to me…I’m concerned that there are many more complaints that aren’t being properly documented due to factory warranties, preventing this from being red-flagged as a larger issue that needs to be addressed.
From the sounds of it, I’m going to continue to experience this well after my warranty has expired – we need this issue addressed now so we don’t continue to pay for this several more times. Anyone know of a place where we can get this issue more attention? Consumer reports??
My visor cracked open on my 2007 Honda Civic
OMG!!!! I thought I would be the only one or have a tough time finding something about this but my driver side visor cracked too!!!!! I’m calling Honda. Thanks everyone!
hi everybody, I’m living in Queretaro, Mexico. and I bought a Civic Sedan EX 2007 and I’m going for my second sunvisor’s set, but one of this is not broken so the dealer told me that can’t change it because is not totally broken… this stinks.
and I know at least 10 cases more with the same problem to replace the sunvisors, in my opinion if this is a desing defect and not a problem with the supplier WHAT ARE THEY WAITING TO REDESIGN IT?
save some cents or lost their completely confidence.
IS THIS THE HONDA CULTURE?…
I have a Honda Civic Coupe LX. Both visors are broken. My tires also wore out after 30,000. Very disappointed in Honda. I have never owned any car other than a Honda. Soon to be ex-Honda customer.
I just bought my 2007 Civic LX last week and already my driver’s side visor is broken. Thankfully it’s under warranty so they’re going to fix it. Hopefully Honda will do something about it.
This is our third new civic in the last 5 years. They were all good until now. Our 07 Civic with 30000 KLM on it fuel pump went to hell and Honda says they won’t fix it for free. They want $700.00. So has anybody else had this problem. Now if i have to pay for this it will be the last Honda in our yard.
I too own a Honda 2006 Sedan. My sun visor is also broken. This is the second time that it happens. But this time it is the passenger side. I went to Honda and they told me I no longer have warranty but fortunately the guy who attended me was nice enough to do it for free. But I’m scared now because I no longer trust the sun visors. I live in california and it gets really hot during the summer so I’m guessing that was the problem. I’m for sure calling the honda #. This is an outrage and isn’t fair. We trust Honda for its good quality, and this is not up to par. If we all call we can defnitely make something happen.
I also have an 08 Civic and just got off the phone with Honda as I’m on my 3rd broken sunvisor. I was told, like most of you have been told, that this is not a recalled item and that when my warranty expires I will have to pay out of pocket to have these replaced. Hopefully my dealership will side with me and fix them at no cost, but somehow I doubt it. I live in AZ so yes, you bet your ass these will continue to break during the hot months. I am livid and cannot believe that such a small thing as a sunvisor isn’t being taken seriously by Honda. I love everything else about my Civic, and have always had nothing but good things to say about Honda’s but now, I just don’t know. EVERYONE, PLEASE CONTINUE TO CALL HONDA AND COMPLAIN. 800-999-1009
COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!!
I have a 2006 Civic and the visors have broken three times now. I have an appt. today to have them replaced *again*. At first Goodson Honda West told me I needed to pay for them since my car is no longer covered by the factory warranty & the extended warranty doesn’t cover visors. I spoke to a manager and told him I wasn’t going to pay for disposible sun visors and I referred to this website with all the complaints already logged. He said he would set it up to where I wouldn’t be charged. I guess I’ll find out when I go this afternoon. I tried to call and lodge a complaint at their cust. svc 800# but the rep said he cannot officially file one unless the dealer refuses to pay to replace them. He gave me a case number to refer back to if it should ever happen again and the dealer will not fix it for free. So that’s how they are getting around recording complaints about this well known defect in their product. The manager at the dealership told me the new visors should work better so I’m hoping that is the case. I’m sick and tired of dragging my car to the dealership every 8-10 months to get new visors installed. It’s just rediculous!
I purchased my 2007 Honda Civic new in April of 2007 and three months after I purchased it my wife was left stranded. It would not shift out of park. I had that problem fixed and then I received a recall for that problem and a wheel sensor recall. Next my drivers side visor “explodes” in the SC sun. Took it in to get that fixed ( could not stand driving around with my head tilted to the side just to see or laying my head on the armrest to see when the traffic light changed) and the passengers side “explodes” the following week. Now I get a recall about WATER PUMP PULLEY BOLTS may lose tension. I called Honda to complain that I live 50 minutes from my nearest Honda dealer and this last recall would make 5 times( Rep stated that the visors did not count so technically this would be only third recall) I have had to take it back because of recalls so how about next time they send a recall notice, how about sending a GAS CARD along with it. Gas at $4.00 a gallon and having to make a special trip just to take care of these recalls are rediculous. Honda seems to be losing that bulletproof reputation. As of 9-12-08 they do not have a recall for the visors.
I just moved to TX 6 mo. ago and the same thing happened to me. First the drivers side and now the passenger side. I almost hit a child this morning because the visor will not stay up, it continuously falls down when I am driving and turns into a huge blind spot! It cost me $75 to replace the first visor. I really don’t want to pay another $75 for Honda’s mistake, but I will to save the life of a child! I hope Honda really does get this fixed, I’ve been a Honda owner for 10 years and this really makes me feel that Honda doesn’t build their cars like they used to!
I bought my 2007 Honda Civic in June and have already had the passenger sun visor replaced. Currently, both driver and passenger visors are split and will not stay up. The Honda dealer did replace the first visor for free, since it split practically a week after I bought the car. Makes me wonder whether it was something they fixed before putting the car on the lot, since I am sure the previous owner had to have had problems with them, as well. I´m calling the 800 line tomorrow, because it´ sounds like this is definately a common problem. This car is my fourth Honda, going back to the early 80´s, and I have never had a problem with sun visors. I had my 1987 Honda Civic almost 20 years, and never, ever had a problem with it. Other than wear and tear. Then they stole it, otherwise, I would still have it. Sure don´t make them like they used to. Should have kept my 2002 Honda, at least the visors were solid.
I also have a Honda 2006 Civic. Yes I have had to pay to have my visor replaced. No only that, but the clips that held the back of the passenger seat broke and the back fell off. Yes I had to pay to get that fixed also. I was told not to drive of railroad tracks when I left the dealership. Good solution…there are track in front of the service department.
My car was made in Canada. When I asked if all of this was related to heat I was told no.
Today I was driving 60 miles an hour in Florida. All of a sudden a loud strange noise. Pulled over to check, and the right half of my front bumper was dragging the ground. Put up with “duck tape” until could get back to West Palm Beach. When I got back to the dealer was told the clips were broken. No it is not under warranty and it would cost me $800 to get it fixed. Talk about safety issues. If all of the clips broke and it went under the car, it could have flipped the car. I am now wondering what part will fall off next because the clips broke.
I am reporting to the Honda 800 number tomorrow and also the National Transportation Safety Board.
UPDATE to my August 20th, 2008 8:50 pm (which was an update to my August 12th, 2008 3:03 pm post) –
So I have the 2nd and 3rd visor replaced by the dealer (Honda of Superstition Springs in Mesa, AZ), who told me that these replacement visors have been redesigne. Note also that that Honda service rep ALSO told me about the service bulletin issued in May ‘08 and that the replacement visors have been redesigned…
And here I am, 17 days later, and the “REDESIGNED” REPLACEMENT VISOR HAS BROKEN, in the same manner as the previous three defective visors!!
This is utterly ridiculous! Honda is flat-out lying to us about this continuing problem. So now I will be making yet another call to my local dealer AND the Honda 800 # to complain about this again.
What is really annoying about this is that I have to waste approximately 3 HOURS at the dealer every time a visor is replaced!
Up until this morning, I loved my little Honda. The driver side visor in my 2006 Civic LX dangled in my field of vision on my way to work today and finally fell off in my lap while driving. After reading the pletora of similar stories on this and other sites, I am truely amazed that a quality company like Honda would continue to replace and inferrior part with a similarly inferrior part. The perplexing part is that sun visors are not new or complex technology. I’ve got an appointement to have my visor replaced tomorrow with I’m sure and equally inferior product. I didn’t pay a premium for a Honda only to have to repeatedly take time out of my busy day to repeatedly return to have simple parts repeatedly replaced.
More important than the inconvenience is the SAFETY HAZARD of being distracted while driving, having your field of vision impaired by a dangling object, and then having to deal with the glaring sun after the visor fell off. How many more times are Civic drivers going to have to deal with this.
Come on Honda – GIVE ME A SAFE AND RELIABLE VISOR!!!!
I’m preparing to replace the sun visor on the driver’s side of my 2007 Civic for the 2nd time. It will be the 3rd visor I’ve had to replace on either side of the vehicle.
On my last trip to the dealership I was told this has been mainly a problem in the warmer climates. I live in Tucson, Arizona but the service tech said they’ve seen it in Las Vegas, Yuma, San Antonio, and especially Phoenix. He also said Honda has given the dealership approval to replace these visors regardless of the car being under warranty or not. Honda should come up with a better solution instead of providing customers with the same crappy plastic visors as replacements. I seem to remember having several Anerican cars with cloth visors and these never gave me problems.
I also need to get my visor replaced a 2nd time in my 2006 Honda Civic. I live in South, California. I called American Honda and there is Bulletin out to dealerships about his problem. The Bulletin # 08-023 – tell your service dealership if they dont know about it already.
I just called today and its not a recall yet.
Since Honda does not seem interested in resolving the sun visor problem suggest owners with defective visors file complaint with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

I had my 2006 Honda Civic for about a month and both sun visors broke. I took a look at the shoddy construction, and what I noticed is that they are snapped together and heat glued. Well the heat glue melts in the summer sun, and the snaps break. I tried to glue them back together with super glue, but there was not enough support to keep the visor from randomly falling in my view while driving. So I purchased $ 0.17 worth of metal paper binder clips from Wal-Mart and clipped them on my visors near the rotating arm. They kept sliding off, so I tied some string to them, and wrapped it around the visor. That has worked ever since. It looks like crap, but that’s what I get for buying a car that is no longer made in Japan (I will never do that again).
Here is an excert from my recent letter to David McDavid of Irving, TX
I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the awesome service I received on Monday, November 3, 2008 in your Service/Parts Dept. I was seeking help regarding my driver-side sun visor splitting/broken/falling off and causing a hazard to see. You immediately received the authorization from your supervisor, to fix the situation and even inspected the passenger side sun visor and replaced it also. When I received my car back (in about an hour), it also received a free car wash. What an awesome surprise! Even though, my original warranty was no longer in effect and the extended warranty did not cover this situation, you still completed the work. Thank You So Much!
I have replaced both sunvisors on my 2006 Civic. They split after about 6 months. Today I found out I have a cracked engine block!! I live in Florida, so freezing is not the problem. Anyone else have this problem???
I just bought 2006 Civic Sedan. It is my first Honda,, I am a long tie Subaru owner and was wondering if the drive trains are just a bit noisy. Reverse and the first forward gears are especially so. This is more noticeable from outside.
I am also getting some surging and at times mysterious increase in RPM when moving from D in to neutral. It’s happened several times and seems to stop when I release my foot from the brake pedal but not always. This reminds of the old Audi sudden acceleration that plagued their reputation for years.
Has anyone experienced or heard of these issues
Thanks

Has anyone had a back window crack? I went out last night to my car and the entire back window is cracked. Not just a line crack, it looks like it has been in an accident, but the car was parked all day……
MY WIFE HAS A 2006 CIVIC AND SHE WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER. THIS ISNT A RECALL, YET, BUT IF YOU OWN A 2006 CIVIC YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE REAR OF THE CAR ARE BAD, THEY CAUSE YOUR TIRES TO WEAR ABNORMAL .I TOOK HER CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT OUR CAR DID HAVE BAD CONTROL ARMS AND REPLACED THEM. WE WENT THROUGH 2 SETS OF TIRE IN 47,OOO MILES BECAUSE OF THIS AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE TIRES , SO NOW I HAVE A SET OF 80,000 MILE TIRES THAT ARENT ANY GOOD FOR ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH THAY TOLD ME THAT THE CONTROL ARMS ARE THE REASON FOR ME HAVING TO REPLACE MY TIRES. AND YES THE VISOR IS BROKE AND CV JOINTS HVE BEEN REPLACED. CALL YOUR DEALER AND ASK ABOUT THE ARMS. WHEN MY FIRST SET OF TIRES WENT I WAS DRIVEN AND IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A TURN I WOULD HAVE ROLLED THE THING. LOOKING AT THE TIRE ALL YOU SEE IS GOOD TREAD BUT TO FEEL IT YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE WEARING FUNNY
MY 2006 HONDA HAS BEEN TEARING MY TIRES UP AND HONDA SAYS ITS BAD CONTROL ARMS ON THE BACK OF THE CAR. THEY REPLACED THE BAD PARTS AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE TIRES THAT THE BAD PARTS WORE OUT, THE TIRES ARE WARRANTED FOR 80,000 MILES AND ONLY HAVE 27,000 MILES ON THEM AND WE CANT USE THEM. THE TREAD STILL LOOKS GOOD, BUT IF YOU LOOK HARDER AT THEM THEY ARE WORN DIAGONALLY ACROSS AND MAKE A ROARING SOUND AND A THUMPING SOUND. I’VE REPLACED THE TIRES TWICE NOW AND AS YOU ALL KNOW TIRES ARENT CHEAP.ALSO THE VISORS ARE BROKE.
I have a 2006 honda civic. The drivers side sun visor came a part while under warranty. 6 months later right out of warranty it happened again. I took it to the dealer ship and they would not replace because of out of warranty. They wanted 75.00 for a new one and I would not pay for it. The mechanic told my husband that it is a defect and that they have had a lot of people complaing. Looks like Honda would stop making defective parts and looks like the dealership would replace for good business. My next car will not be a honda. I had always heard that they would stand behind them. I guess i can not hear to good.
Eric – my short block cracked, too. There was a batch that was defective. Honda knows about it and should replace yours with little to no issues.
My problem is that, since then, I’ve had my car in the dealership four times for engine misfires. They’ve replaced all of the fuel injectors, valves, some sensors, pretty much everything that’s relatively inexpensive to replace. They’ve now had my car for a week, have called Honda Engineering, and still can’t figure out what’s wrong with it.
When my wife and I moved to Florida we noticed a problem with both of our sun visors. Both are completely cracked at the “Arm,” and are unable to close unless I hold the two pieces together until they snap. The passenger side completely fell off after Thanksgiving. I would love to have them fixed but just cannot afford to have something minor done. Honda must recall the visors so that those of us who are enjoying the cars will continue to be loyal customers – I know that I will think twice before purchasing a new Honda.
“Eric – my short block cracked, too. There was a batch that was defective. Honda knows about it and should replace yours with little to no issues.”
I was wondering what is the mileage on your car and year…also what state do you drive in (exaple california, taxes, new york)?
Just found out the engine block is cracked on the 2006 Honda Civic. There is no one there to approve the goodwill warranty today. Will find out Friday, a least they are doing a rental for now. Any one out there have this happen and did they take care of the costs.
I have had the brake pads replaced too soon as well
the brakes feel as if they never disengage fully
i also have had sun visors split replaced the drivers and the
passengers is still broken…
I have owned Hondas since my first one in 1972.(the 2 cylinder tiny car)
and have never had such horrible problems…

I traded in my 97 Civic for a 06 Civic back in June. Three days after I bought the car, the visor broke. Of course it was replaced free of charge. I had no idea that there was a widespread problem with them until I started researching about another problem:
Today I found out my engine block is cracked. I had to have it towed yesterday after it leaked coolant all over a grocery store parking lot and then overheated. I didn’t see that one coming. Thank goodness it was still under warranty…barely…
I guess this is what I get for talking so proudly about my other Honda.
I drive a 2006 EX in GA. The driver side visor completely cracked at the “Arm,” and is unable to close unless I hold the two pieces together until they snap. It is a pain when you are driving and I have beeen ‘pinched’ more than once by trying to get it out of my view. It started in the summer of 08 and I have just learned to deal with it. I didn’t realize that this was a problem for others too. I will get on the Honda site to add my complaint about these defective visors.
My 2008 Honda Civic LX has the same problem for the sun visor as others mentioned. It is on the driver’s side. It splits on the arm as well. So far it still holds back at its place. And, today some noise occurs on the tire of driver’s side. It sounds like dragging a can or a metal. Made an appointment. I’ll see what the dealer told me. My Civic is still under warranty. Hope they’ll replace the sun visor and fix the noise on the tire too.
2007 CIVIC LX 1.8
Keep an eye on your coolant level .
My 2007 civic is at the dealer getting engine replaced .
There is cracks on engine block and honda knows about this problem.
Honda is keeping this quiet .
Also I have replaced my visor driver and pass 3 to 4 times.
My 2006 civic EX is at the dealer getting engine block replaced with only 47K on it. There is cracks on engine block and Honda knows about this problem it is even on their Honda Service Bulletin 08-044 (This is for all DX, LX, EX Models from 2006 to 2008) and they refuse to admit it.
anyone out there besides me have to had their engine replaced. I just got blown away, this week when i took my fairly new Honda Civic coupe with only 39.000 miles into the dealership, because coolant was leaking, and they told me that the engine had to be replaced….talk about blow my mind…l.sure hope this doesn’t present any more problems….i have had 4 honda’s and never had anything like this.
I’ve had to replace 3 cracked driver side sunvisors on my 2007 Honda. DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU IT IS JUST A HEAT PROBLEM. I live in Central California, hardly ever get real hot weather. Honda at 1-800-999-1009 acted like I was only one that has this problem. Refused to replace sunvisor when warranty is over. Look on internet. Massive complaints about sunvisor. We should not be penalized because they use cheap parts. This is a safety issue. This problem started with their 2006 models and they still haven’t fixed it.
Don’t let them get away with this: Write complaint letter directly to Tetsuo Iwamura, CEO of Honda Motor Co. Inc., Mail Stop 500-2N-7A, 1919 Torrance Boulevard, Torranc, California 90501-2746. Tell him to take responsibility for their faulty sunvisors. Let him know if you don’t get satisfactrion, you will file complaint with National Highway Traffice Safety Administration (NHTSA) at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm and Consumer Product Safety Commission at http://www.cpsc.gov/. You can file complaint on line.

2006 Honda Civic EX sun visor(s) problem. I cannot state any differing circumstances regarding the failure of this cheap, defective part that hasn’t been stated already. The worst part about this is Honda’s refusal (and the dealership’s refusal, also) to submit a recall. It is blatantly obvious that this is a defective part and poses a danger while driving…not to mention that it is annoying and distracting. What’s it gonna take Honda???? Oh yeah…anyone died yet due to this problem?
Honda is quickly losing possible repeat customers due to something so inexpensive. Bad customer relations over this absurd problem. SHAME ON YOU, HONDA!!!!!
I was a terrible accident with my Honda Civic (model 2006) with only 3000 km. in Buenos Aires, Argentina (30/9/2006). My new car broke the three wheels in the route and I lost the control of the car. The company was not even responsible for the warranty (3 years or 100,000 miles).
I need to know what´s happened… Someone can help me to find the answer???
Purchased Civic EX 2006. I am on my fourth set of tires. Uneven wear, for the past three years dealership has insisted that is was my driving, road condition, holes on the road, etc. Finally I go online and see hundreds of the same complains and find service bulletin issues last February, car needed rear upper control arms. Went to dealership with all of my service receipts, copy of bulletin and demanded that they be replaced. They also gave me two new tires, but because of rotation all four tires were no good. Called Honda Corporate and they refuse to acknowledge that this was a manufacturing defect and refused to give me two tires in good faith. I explained that I have been a loyal Honda customer (this is my fourth Honda car.) was told that this has nothing to do with loyalty. I quickly said if that is the case, this will be the last Honda I purchase. I hope enough people get together to start a class action suit. This is not the company it used to be, and I will never purchase any of their products.
I have a 2007 Honda Civic. Found out today that the block is cracked. I am a single mother, and I use this car daily at work to transport foster care children. Honda is having someone to look at the car to determine if it will be replaced under the extended warranty. Well…I have news….I want a new engine or my money back. I HATE THIS CAR!!!! I have owned Honda’s in the past, and never had a problem with any of the other cars. I have had to put 4 sets of tires on this car, it will not stay aligned, and it makes awful road noise. Of course no one else is having problems with their vehicle according to the Honda dealership. They need to recall the cars before someone gets killed. In addition, make sure if you use road side assistance that you demand that a local company picks the car up. I had to pay an additional $160.00 because they called a company one hour away from where my car was located.
I just got off the phone with Honda and my Honda dealership in NY and neither were willing to help me regarding my broken visor. I had to rip my driver side visor off because I couldn’t see with it just hanging there! They told me it would cost $70 for the visor and $45 to install it. I think Honda is ruining their reputation with something that can be so easily fixed!
3rd brake light works when it feels like and on 2nd sun visor thats broken in 3 years
This is the 4th time my sun visor has cracked on my brand new ‘06 civic. I’m bringing it to the dealer (I live in NC) tomorrow and will NOT pay to have this fixed again.
My visor on the drivers side also split one day while I was at work. When I got in the car it was just hanging. It finally fell all the way off today.. I am so sick of this car seriously. I have a 2006 Civic LX. My belt tensioner also broke back in 2006 and I had to have all kinds of stuff replaced. Now I find out that there is a recall on the belt tensioner. They said i MIGHT bealbe to get my money back…WTF??????? Is there not a recall on the visors?
I own a 2006 Honda Civic EX, and I have had it for a little over 2 and 1/2 years now. Since then, I have had to get the pump replaced for the windshield wiper sprayers due to it going out. I have had 2 of my sun visors split down the seam. Worst of all, I also had a crack in the engine block about 28,000 miles in. All this though was replaced and/or fixed by the dealership at no cost, but it makes me wonder what else may go wrong. I really like this car, but it’s just one thing after another…
I’ve got a 2006 civic ex coupe and some part in the drivers seat has broken and it leans to the right when taking a turn. I’m not a big guy..only weight 165lb..I’m just wondering if anyone else had this problem. The car only has 38,000 miles on it and honda is saying its out of warranty so they wanted over $1000 to repair it. Anyone out there have this type of problem with their seat?
I have a 2008 civic and have owned three Hondas in the past. I have a Pilot ,and have owned a civic and an accord in the past. My current civic has less than 10k miles on it and I’m taking it in for a new visor for the second time in four months. I also have a suspension problem.My old Hondas have never had an issue but I think Honda may have screwed up on this one!
I just purchased and 06 civic coupe. For those of you with rear tires wearing Honda has now issued a service bulletin to repair some tension arms on the rear end. This is the cause of your tires wearing. Because this is a service bulletin and not a recall I doubt you get any notification. Take it to a dealership and inquire. The notice also states they have to replace your tires which they won’t want have to do so look up the bulletin and have it printed in your hand when you go. I had a visor broken when I bought it and now the other one is broke. They haven’t told me yet if they are going to cover it or not. Honda needs to address the issue and recall the visors and replace them with a different visor. The new ones are just going to break the same way. Unfortunately they won’t address this until someone gets killed because the visor fell and blocked their view and they are sued over it. WAKE UP HONDA!!
Like many others, I have a problem with the sun visor on my 2006 Honda Civic!! I stopped by the dealership to point out the problem and ask for a solution. The only suggestion I got was to purchase a new one for about $65.00. This doesn’t seem right, since the person I talked to admitted that they were defective and explained that the metal rod inside is stronger than the plastic, and therefore causes the plastic to split open when rotated to lower the visor! In addition, I agree with Tricia that it can be a real hazzard. When lowered, the visor doesn’t go all the way down before the plastic splits, and it then gets stuck in that haft way position, only a few inches from the driver’s head! It’s hard plastic and in case of a collision where the head would be thrown forward it could easily hit that hard visor and cause great injury! Is Honda waiting for a major law suit to change these visors to a higher quality? This is ridiculous! Maybe a class action lawsuit is what they need?
I also have a 2006 Honda Civic coupe with defective driver side visor. I am on my third visor now. It’s broken and I refuse to pay for another one knowing it won’t last through the summer. The first two replacements were covered under the warranty. Now I see I’m on my own. Well I can assure you that I will be writing to the CEO for resolution. Will keep you advised of my results. Mine is a lease car, so I can turn it in in a year. However, I steadfastly refuse to pay for the visor if it’s broken at the time I turn the car in. This is ridiculous.
My 06 Civic has also had 3 visors replaced. The dealer now claims they have a re-enginiered visor but my coverage is out and that I have to pay $52.00, the first ones were free. I could see if I just now brought the problem to thier attention but if the problem is presented before the warrenty expiresthen it should be covered until resolved; refuse to pay in principle. Oh and get this, my $1800.00 extended warrenty won’t cover it. The smart-ass service manager informed me that “recalls” are only for safety issues. So, I guess we are all ignorant. Visors are not a problem so thier importance has never been upgraded to a “safety item” but if you removed them from all cars you would have all kinds of accidents. If you travel east every morning for work and west returning home in the evening, you know just how important the visor is.
I thought I was the only one who was having this problem! I also have a 2006 Honda Civic coupe and my visor broke off about three months ago! I have yet to go back to the dealership, but I have a bad feeling that I will end up having to pay for it because I have had my car since April of 2006. . . I guess I should just go figure it out. It must be the heat, I live in Florida!
06 Honda Civic Ex Sedan
I’ve experienced problems since day one…
Axle broke on Drivers side front wheel and left me stranded out of town while at a family funeral; I’ve had (3) drivers side visors replaced; (2) sets of brakes and just recently car over heated and the engine had to be replaced! What a piece of crap! No more Hondas for this girl, I thought they were supposed to be reliable and well built cars!
06 Honda Civic EX Coupe
My driver’s side broke today. Unlike some comments, I really like the car but I do think if THIS MANY of these things are breaking, it should be something Honda takes care at their cost. I called the 800 number and registered a complaint and got a polite brush off referring me to the dealer. I’ll call them but I’m out of warranty so don’t expect anything from them either. Found the part online for less than $33 so I will probably order one and put it on myself.
07 Honda Civic Ex Coupe
I purchased this car new in November of 07. I never heard of any problems with Honda visors until my passenger side one split last month (temperature in the mid 80s). I live in West Texas and the temperature gets in the triple digits in the summer. How many visors am I going to have replaced when it gets REALLY HOT?
i have had to replace my drivers side sun visor twice now. First time was under warranty now its not. So i have to pay. Doesnt make sense to have gone through 2 sun visors when iv only had the car for 3 years. Shows what type of quality its made of….
I have an 06 Civic LX, and just had the driver’s side visor crack. I presume it is due to the heat, since it has just started getting hot here in North Carolina. The workmanship on these sun visors is cheap, for they are all plastic with poorly molded construction. Unfortunately, my warranty has expired. Does anyone know how to replace the visor without taking it to the dealer? I would like to order one on line and do it myself. Thanks!
Honda your reputation for quality is sinking fast!
Second broken visor for me too, but warranty is just up, so have a call in to the toll-free number, case # etc. If they dont replace it for free, I’m going to drill and bolt it back together and see what happens, WTF? If I get fed up, I’ll just go back to Toyota, never really had any problems with their vehicles. Foolish Honda, dont they recognize people are going to bolt for Toyota over this recurring and unresolved problem. They should stop advertising how great their products are, until their products can live up to it. Thought this Civic was a nicely made car, but now I have doubts.
I bought a 2007 Honda Civic and both sun visors broke due to the heat. The driver side was already replaced once. I can’t believe Honda has made such a poor quality item in one of their cars. I have a call into the 800# to hopefully let Honda know that this needs to be dealt with.
My visor split twice. I replaced it twice. Now I am looking for a work around because Honda doesn’t take ownership.
My stereo broke too. First CDs wouldn’t play. Now none of the buttons work. I am ready to trade in.
Wow my visor split too and I dont think I should pay the $50 to fix it
I have a 2007 Honda Civic Sedan. Today my car died. At first we thought it was the battery but it is not. We tried boosting it and changing battery but didn’t work. It didn’t even try to start. Has anyone else had a similar problem? The car has about 80 000km
Well the sun visor is the one thing that has not broken on my sons 06 civic ex yet. Have had the drivers side seat back replaced.[Barely under warranty], battery replaced[barely under waranty], although the service manager a a smart remark for my wife. I”m just glad I was at work 20 miles away. Also recalled for something wrong with the wheel , it could fall off, also recall for somethig in engine compartment. About 2 months ago the third brake light went out, also air conditioning went out. So I took it to the dealer hoping for good faith since this is our sixth Honda. Well the dealer said no way so if they ordered and installed parts it would cost $125.00 for the third brake light. The ac control would cost $250.00 and they didnt know if that would fix the problem… To say the least I said NO and left Called 800 number for case file. Still pending . BUT WHAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU IS I FIXED BOTH PROBLEMS. The third brake light had a short in it. If you can wiggle the wire where it goes in the back of the light and it comes on you can fix your self. Also the ac control had a loose conection. Also iixed.. THIS CAR HAS HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN THE AMERICAN VEHICLES WE HAVE OWNED. REALLY MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THE PATH HONDA IS GOING…[MAYBE THERE TRYING TO BE MORE LIKE [CHYRSLER]……………………………………………..
I have 2007 Civic, I had the driver side visor replaced at 20,000 miles under warrant. At 50,000 miles the passenger visor literally fall off. At 60,000 the driver side cracked again. I just replace both of them today. What a joke, the dealer told me they were doing me a favor by splitting the cost. The $$$ one thing but the problem needs to be resolved, it’s a safety hazard plus a major pain in the (*&*&*. Poor quality, I will never buy a Honda again. Tell your friends!!!!!!!!!!!
The sun visor is doing fine so far. I have had trouble with dr. side seat back, battery, 2or3 recalls, and now the third brake light @ ac control module. My honda is 06, out of warranty. They wont help. HONDA is starting to go down the tubes. [MAYBE THERE TRYING TO BE MORE LIKE CHYRSLER]. I have owned 6 Hondas and this one is JUNK…..DO NOT BUY…….
Class action lawsuit.

Class action lawsuit.
Class action lawsuit.
Get it?
Honda won’t listen to anyone unless its a legal firm concerning suit.
Someone here must know a good attorney that would read over this page and see the need for a class action suit. The result is that the legal firm would get great exposure and the customers would certainly win and get reimbursement for our time and expense.
Legal action speaks louder than words.
Visor cracked and fell into view. Could not drive, so had to rip it off.
Honda should replace it due to all the problems with the visors.
Yes, class action lawsuit.
I own a 2007 Honda Civic. I am going on my third visor on the driver side (second replacement). It’s a poor design. The 2008 Civic Hybrid has a better design because we had one as a loaner and that was the first thing I looked at. They have a different design so why don’t they recall and put this design in all of our cars! I too live in Phoenix and after a hot day had the thing fall apart and had to pull it off so I could drive. CRAZY!!
